Coming through the Japanese thing was more of a success than you've had on or off the pitch. Exeter are just a poor team with very little about them. No-one will miss them when they drop, and there isnt the ambition to claw their way out of the clag.

Bless, it's actually quite sweet that you genuinely believe you're sleeping giant ready to take your rightful place in the Premiership. Have you got your space picked out along Union Street yet for your open topped bus parade?

Nothing would suggest I think that, but compared to Exeter we are a big club.

You need another word; 'bless' is getting a little tired.

Patience is a virtue, and a little (well, more than a little) won't hurt you.....

Dockyard Derby tomorrow. Where all our Pompey fans? Should be a decent test for both teams.

Love this!

Is there planning permission for a new ground at Plough Lane albeit on a different site?

Hello Tyre Smoke; I was working so I'm relying on local radio reports. Sounds like a good game, good attendance too.
Opinion here seems to be that Pompey were much the better side in the second half, also denied a clear penalty in the first half (but, I've not seen it).
Still, we'd have taken a draw in advance - you guys are on a fantastic run.
If we can just cut out silly errors against the likes of Morecambe and Blackpool, we should be up there come next May - as will Argyle I think.
These two clubs are too big for League 2 - but no divine right to promotion, I get that.

Coming away from the game on Saturday, I felt it was a point gained for sure.

Two clear penalty shouts, one for each side, so I guess that cancels them out. It was quite funny that your fans decided at 1-2 at 86 minutes, a pitch invasion was necessary, this being a club that has won the FA Cup and been Premiership, for it all to go horribly wrong for you a couple of minutes later!!

Fantastic turnout of over 15000 for a L2 fixture, more than was at the Premiership fixture at Bournemouth!

Agree, we are on a great run at the moment, but we did exactly the same last season and choked at Wembley, so not counting any chickens just yet.

Agree with you though, we should both be up there come May. It grinds my gears a bit that clubs like Bristol Rovers, and AFC Wimbledon are a league above us, but they are there on merit after all.

I haven't posted here so far this season,so I'll summarise Colchesters season so far.
Started well,in the top 6 for a few weeks,then from September 10th to

November 22nd didn't win in any competition and were bottom of L2 for 3 days.
Then on Tuesday night someone got their finger out and we won 3-0 and today 4-0.
Do I dare dream of 3 straight wins ?.....redcard

I dream of three points....no, one point would beva start. Let's hope the Greens halt this blip soon. Luckily the results around us aren't too ruinous....yet!

What a last 10 minutes!

I knew we'd come back as, I assumed Curzon would run out of the steam, but a [quite literally] last second winner!!!!!

Just this minute logged on to comment on AFC Wimbledon's match.

3-0 down with about 10 minutes to go and win 4-3.

You lucky lot.

I won't argue with that. Feel so sorry for Curzon though. That's 3 times now that we've scored 3 goals in 2 minutes; the others being Cheltenham and Bury IIRC.

Sutton United v AFC Wimbledon.....round 3.

Gander Green lane is not the biggest ground, get your ticket early for a local derby.

My local derby, bit of a shame really.


Pal of mine owns the firm of the main sponsor at Sutton, at least it gives one of my local teams a chance to progress .

A little fact that is that this fixture is a repeat of the first ever game that the reborn Dons played, back in the summer of 2002 biggrin
